"Environment Agency accused of 'lip-service' on sewage crisis after downgrading 96% of serious pollution incidents."

Yep you read that correctly, not only has the EA being allowing water companies to mark their own homework they've being joining in the fun down grading the most serious pollution incidents to get them off their books, close the files and hope no-one notices.

Well, they've been caught.

Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News.

Lets show them one.

The River Wye has just made UK history.

For the first time, an entire river catchment has been formally recognised as a living ecosystem with rights - including the right to flow, thrive, regenerate, and be free from pollution.

It's a major victory for nature.

"‘They’re a private company, run for profit!’: fury in Kent at South East Water’s outages."

Cam someone please explain to me why South East Water are still in business, how they still have an operating licence and why the public are still be asked to put up with this nonsense?

Zoo taken to court over claims three South African Elephants are depressed.

'They are sad, depressed and frustrated. They are listless and stand around'.

Animal welfare groups claim the elephants, named Lammie, Ramadiba and Mopane, live in an enclosure not much bigger than a soccer field.

An unusual legal battle is unfolding in South Africa concerning the mental well-being of three Elephants housed in a zoo.

Animal welfare groups say the three animals are depressed and are advocating for their relocation to a larger conservation park where they can be happy.

"Thames Water investors say temporary nationalisation would slow its recovery."

Thames Water still trying to bully tax payers and bill payers I see.

Govt should hang up and tell them to clear off, there is no "market solution" to this mess.

The Guga hunt is shameful. Gannet chicks are taken from their nests and killed for a local delicacy - and NatureScot gives licences for it.

Norway just made a decision that will be remembered for years.

The country has officially ended fur farming nationwide. No more mink or foxes will be bred, kept in cages, and killed for clothing. An industry built on animal suffering is now gone.

This took years. Investigations exposed what life in fur farms looked like. Animals lived in small wire cages. They could not run, dig, or behave naturally. Many showed clear signs of stress. People saw the reality and spoke up.

Public pressure grew. Animal welfare groups kept pushing. More citizens questioned whether fashion could justify that cruelty. Lawmakers responded and passed a ban. Farmers received time to transition and shut down their operations. That process is now complete.

This matters. Thousands of animals will not be born into cages. Fewer lives will be treated like products. Norway chose compassion over tradition and profit.

The impact also reaches beyond Norway. Decisions like this show other countries that change is possible. They push others to look at their own systems and ask if they still make sense.

Consumers are driving this shift too. More people choose alternatives. More brands stop using fur. Demand is changing, and industries are forced to follow.

This is what progress looks like. It builds over time through awareness, pressure, and action. Then one day, what once seemed normal is no longer accepted.

Norway has drawn that line.

It's almost too big to hold...So long as NatureScot keeps allowing Gannets to be killed we will keep showing up at their door with larger and larger petitions!

"The government has missed its own deadline for bringing enforcement action against water companies polluting rivers and seas."

And yet again there we have it. All of the promises, all of the empty, vacuous words, all of the failed commitments.

Worthless, meaningless, nonsense.

And there is the reality.

All of the promises, all the rhetoric, all the empty, meaningless words.

🦡 We're hearing the Cumbria cull is not continuing. No new licenses. A shift to vaccination. We're still waiting on official confirmation but on the ground, it's looking like the English badger cull has ended.

Over 247,000 badgers lost. That number will never leave us.

This needs more attention. If Taylor Wimpey think it’s acceptable to fell trees during nesting season we need to make sure no one buys their poor quality overpriced homes. Tell your friends and family to avoid these ecocidal developers.

Miyako has spent over fifty years in solitary confinement in a tiny enclosure in Utsunomiya, Japan. Since she was brought to Japan aged 6 months, she has never had another Elephant as a companion.

Please sign this petition to retire Miyako to a sanctuary.

The UK's first heathland green bridge is due to open in Surrey next month to help snakes, toads and badgers cross the busy A3, National Highways says.

The £3.7m Cockrow Bridge spans the A3 near Cobham and reconnects two rare heathland areas.
